For the tiny number of Livingston fans it must be an absolutely sickening look.
Your team has lost 4-0 in a cup quarter-final, the first goal conceded was the result of ridiculous actions by two match officials and at the final whistle your manager looks like the happiest man inside Ibrox.
In his younger days, before doing a prison sentence for drug dealing and money laundering, David Martindale used to go on European away trips supporting his Rangers heroes.
Imagine this was your manager who openly supports the team that’s just pumped you 4-0. pic.twitter.com/zpbSN3R8WQ

A lot has changed at Ibrox since the tax dodging days of Dave Murray, Dick Advocaat and Alex McLeish but there is clearly still a child-like magic for Martindale as he watches his modern day heroes hit his employers for four goals for the second time this season.
On Saturday Livingston conceded 17 fouls in their home match against Celtic, at Ibrox four days later just five fouls were given away.
Against Brendan Rodgers’ side Bruce Anderson and Mo Sangare caused the visiting defenders a few problems as Martindale’s side pushed for 90 plus minutes to take something from the match.
At Ibrox Anderson and Sangare sat on the bench for 77 minutes before getting sent on with their team losing 2-0.
Are there any real Livi fans? You’d think they’d be screaming for his head.
If it’s not referees and VAR officials or Computer officials then it’s guys like Martindale…
Scottish Football is well and truly Fcuked tragically –
Jailbait is drinking in the same last chance saloon as the fresh fruit&veg man,both playing DIRE football with fans of one klub not putting up with it,and the new owners of the other club ready to ditch the JUNKIE manager.
Both will be gone soon and the next time they see each other again will be down the job centre.
To be fair, Martindale has done well to turn his life around,
but he’s just not the brightest.
Even a primary school team manager wouldn’t be openly
smiling if his youngsters got hammered.
As I ssid before….ONCE A RANGER….ALWAYS A RANGER….P45 should be next…Ratbag.
That wee c*nt has been at this ever since he took over at Livi
He should get an Oscar for his post match pressers acting like he’s upset and annoyed after getting a defeat by them
The hun media love him because they know he’ll keep his mouth shut when his team get blatantly robbed in games involving them
Wee baldy ride .
